I liked the design, especially for fragile corks, but after 8 months of home use the screw fell out of the main body.

One of the covers securing the blade and the corkscrew portion was detached after about 3 uses. I suspect it is the sideforces necessary in screwing the screw portion into the cork contributed to the result. At 5 uses both covers were detached and the screw portion was decoupled from the main portion rendering the device worthless. Learn from my mistake and pick another corkscrew with a studier construction.

I have bought six so far. I give them to friends. This is the best of any pocket cork screw I have found. Once you get the move down it is very easy to use this inexpensive opener. And it looks cool in action too.

Works well but make sure the first stage position is secure before beginning to pull the cork. Otherwise, the lever may chip the mouth of the bottle. That happened to me the first time I used it. It hasn’t happened since.
It is much easier to open a bottle of wine using this corkscrew. Women, especially will find it much easier since it employs a pushing/pressing rather than a pulling motion requiring less strength and effort.
I would have given it 5 stars but I’ve found that after a little while, when the screw is descended, the levers tend to flop down and the cutter isn’t as useful as I thought it would be. While sharp, it seems awkward to use but perhaps I haven’t mastered that part yet.

Starting with:
The good, and in fact very good – No question about it, the Coutale concept of a spring loaded smaller foot inserted within the main foot is brilliant, way better than just about anything (two part foot, broken, and of course single) to extricate a recalcitrant cork. The short but coated screw goes in nicely and manages dry corks pretty well. Grade: A.
However, moving on to:
The bad and rather obnoxious – Once pulled out and used, the foot doesn’t fit snugly back in the main body of the corkscrew and instead flops about like a broken wrist and gets in the way, making the task of threading, specially through tough corks, more irritating that it should be. B-/C.
But it goes from bad to:
Very, very ugly – The foil cutting blade on the sommelier version is an absolute, total disaster, a pathetically dull blade with a ridiculously pointed end that is very successful at slicing careless fingers (nothing like a blood stained label as a selling ploy), and perhaps killing pigs, but is near useless at cutting through foil. Very disappointing and ubersucky: I’ve resorted to removing the foil completely, which rather spoils the presentation, or using a separate knife or foil cutter in all cases. If this was a play for the triumph of form over function (it looks good) then bravo, otherwise it gets an F.
The worst of it is that these problems are FIXABLE, if not by the buyer. I’m a professional in the wine trade who may open up to a dozen bottles on any day: I can’t imagine how obnoxious these issues must be for a sommelier who pulls double that each day. I’d pay triple if these glitches were fixed. As such, the good parts are the only things that keep me from forgetting this corkscrew in a drawer.
